Surfactant-induced chemical ordering of GaAsN:Bi
摘要： We have examined the in?uence of an incorporating surfactant on chemical ordering in GaAsN:Bi alloys. Epitaxy with a (2 (cid:2) 1) reconstruction leads to the formation of GaAsN alloys, while the introduction of a Bi ?ux induces long-range chemical ordering of the {111} planes of GaAsN:Bi. We propose a mechanism in which Bi enhances the alignment of dimer rows along the [110] direction, facilitating N incorporation beneath surface dimers and Bi incorporation between dimer rows to form alternating N-rich and Bi-rich {111} planes. These ?ndings suggest a route to tailoring the local atomic environment of N and Bi atoms in a wide range of emerging dilute nitride-bismide alloys.

Superstructural Ordering in Hexagonal CuInSe2 Nanoparticles
摘要： Chalcogenide semiconducting nanoparticles are promising building blocks for solution-processed fabrication of optoelectronic devices. In this work, we report a new large-scale colloidal synthesis of metastable CuInSe2 nanoparticles with hexagonal plate-like morphology. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis of the nanoparticles showed that the structure of the nanoparticles is not simple hexagonal wurtzite-type CuInSe2 (space group P63mc), indicating the formation of an ordered superstructure. Detailed insight into this structural aspect was explored by high-resolution electron microscopy, and the results evidence an unreported chemical ordering within the synthesized CuInSe2 nanoparticles. Specifically, while the Se sublattice is arranged in perfect wurtzite subcell, Cu and In are segregated over distinct framework positions, forming domains with lower symmetry. The arrangement of these domains within the hexagonal Se substructure proceeds through the formation of a number of planar defects, mainly twins and antiphase boundaries. As a semiconductor, the synthesized material exhibits a direct optical transition at 0.95 eV, which correlate well with its electronic structure assessed by density functional theory calculations. Overall, these findings may inspire the design and synthesis of other nanoparticles featuring unique chemical ordering; thus, providing an additional possibility of tuning intrinsic transport properties.
